Inspired by a Cuban favourite Ropa Vieja, the name translates as “old rags” as the shreds of crumpled beef resemble them. The classic recipe is a saucy mix of meat, sweet bell peppers, onion and tangy olives. It’s typically made with flank steak, but we love how pot roast guarantees tender, flavourful juicy shreds. We also love the time-saving, hands-off Instant Pot™ approach versus simmering away for hours on the stovetop. This dish is very rich – so a little goes a long way! For a traditional presentation, serve with rice and black beans.

Passata is an uncooked tomato purée strained of seeds and skins. The process traditionally involves using a food mill, but we’ve simplified things with a blender instead. Have passata on hand for all kinds of pasta and pizza sauces, soups, or stews. Make a big batch and freeze it for later so you can enjoy the flavour of summer tomatoes year-round.

The Multipurpose Steamer is ideal for preparing any small shaped pasta like shells, macaroni, penne, or fusilli. Add a simple sauce, like this easy Bolognese and you’ve got a delicious meal on the table. If you have time, let the sauce simmer longer for deeper depth of flavour.

In 20 minutes, you’ll have a light ‘n fresh tomato sauce with tender, twirly noodles ready to go—and there’s only one pot to clean! We love how this is a budget-friendly, bare-bones recipe, but makes a meal both kids and adults will love to eat.

Panzanella salad is usually made with toasted bread cubes (aka croutons!) – try this version with chickpeas for a protein & fibre boost. You can use any tomatoes you’d like, just pick the juiciest and ripest ones you can get your hands on.
